Flights to Detchant, Belford from NT$5,370

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Detchant.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Detchant a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
